Currently, more and more young people are seeking to enlist in the military in order to be able to defend their homeland. However, military service is associated not only with physical exertion and disciplinary requirements, but also with high moral principles and qualities. One of these qualities is the military paramedic, who not only provides treatment for wounds and
A military paramedic is a specialist with secondary vocational medical education. They diagnose, treat and prevent diseases among military personnel of the Armed Forces. Military paramedics also have the right to independently provide medical care to the wounded.
During mobilization, the paramedic performs the duties of a “temporary” medical worker. But if a paramedic is injured, he can replace other doctors until a decision is made to evacuate the wounded person to the nearest medical facility.
Many people believe that a paramedic is not really a medical profession. And this is due to the fact that the formal qualifications of paramedics do not include the ability to prescribe prescription drugs. Military pharmacies can be very far away, along with hospitals. They also use specific medications that are not sold in regular pharmacies. The paramedic must be able to work with an “individual order”. Otherwise, it will only work with a fixed set of “inpatient” medications. Soldiers who fall ill in the field have to be transported very quickly to hospitals. And urgently. Because of this, transport between hospitals can be quite problematic.
